Insurgent by Veronica Roth



So i just finished Insurgent by Veronica Roth and i thought it was a fantastic book. It continued my liking of the series as it was just as good as the first. While it didn't go into the psychology of the characters like the first it had much more action and focused a lot more on the war. It did get into the relationship between Tobias and Tris more which made me lose a lot of interest and want to go and puke, but hey if your a chick you probably love it.

Although this book was definitely middle story line. There is a big "war" which is just one battle that is severely dragged out and you finally figure out what happened to civilization and whats outside the wall. I was expecting a virus or some psychological thing that causes insanity like the Maze Runner, zombie thing, heck even mutated nuclear monster thingy. But alas it is not although it is psychological which falls into the books usual focus, you will have to read it to know.It leads to a whole new concept and the "war" is really diminished compared to this in importance, almost like the whole meat of the book was kind of meaningless and some characters were needless but you got too add new things i guess. Although, to me at points it feels as though the book is comprised of filler like an anime series it still is great and would be a great series for you as it is well rounded in many areas and anyone could enjoy it. The movie did just come out as well and it was very well done, but you should of course read the book first.
